Hi all

Sound like it is getting serious in China.
But how serious is it?
Seen several source shutting it down and moving the ware house

Should we be concerned?

I hadn't started a thread or posted what I heard because I simply don't know how true it is. I have people I trust for things going on in and around our country. China? Its like a different planet nevermind country with the language barrier.

I was told that the Chinese are working hand in hand with a group of agents from the USA to search and look for any signs of fentanyl and any other illegal substances that are around. These factories have to have licenses to manufacture raw sterioid powders and a different license to make finished gear. Many do not.

I was told workers can be seen scrubbing away different machines that held any of these substances because if even traces of an illegal substance is found the place is shut down and all inside are arrested. This includes workers hired at insanely low wages.

The reason its taken so seriously is because when the Chinese arrest you its the end of the road. Not many are seen or heard from again. These aren't prisons like those found in the USA. These are hard labor camps that all ages must be actively working in. In the prisons here once you get to age 40 or 45 you aren't required to "Put in work". Different than the work in chinese prisons but work nonetheless.

Hopefully it will go back too business as usual when the USA LE beats feet out of there like it was with Operation Gear Grinder. The Federales in Mexico worked with the USA to shut down the Mexican manufacturers of Vet steroids. They really were after Ketamine that the same factories that made the steroids operated. We left and back to business as usual.

Same happened in China when Beijing hosted the Olympics. Its all about appearances for the Chinese.

Irrespective of what's happening to suppliers on the Chinese side, the biggest impact will be from the ending of the last decade of remarkably porous customs enforcement of mail in the US. The system wasn't prepared for the number of packs from China doubling every two years to well over a billion annually now, thanks to the "de minimus" loophole.

99% of mailed parcels from China bypass customs inspection altogether because customs just doesn't have the capacity.

There was a reason you couldn't simply have cheap steroids shipped from China to your house 20 years ago, and it's going to return to that. The Chinese know this and have been quietly preparing alternate routes for a while. All these "US Warehouses" haven't been popping up because they're dedicated to good customer service.
